I was wondering what the history behind the days of the week in Japanese, that are 月曜日 (Monday)、火曜日 (Tuesday)、水曜日 (Wednesday)、木曜日 (Thursday)、金曜日 (Friday)、土曜日 (Saturday) and 日曜日 (Sunday), containing the Kanjis of Sun, Fire, Water, Tree, Gold, Soil and Sun, is.
Also, coincidentally I noticed,
月 = Moon
火星 = Mars
水星 = Mercury
木星 = Jupiter
金星 = Venus
土星 = Saturn
日輪 = Sun (Well, this is generally called 太陽, isn't it? That must have a different story behind it.)
which use the same Kanji respectively.
Can someone tell the story, legend, history or mythology behind this?
